So I did a few things to my honor to help my battery life like I optimized all my apps not to run in the background while I'm not using them and my stand by battery life has become great. I can turn my phone off for a while and my battery won't hardly even drain. If you have not optimized your phone by turning off all apps running in the background when not in use I would highly recommend it to her the best battery life you can get. It's amazingly better.
How's everyone's battery life doing?

I personally shut everyone of my apps off in the background except my email bc I wanted it to refresh itself. My battery has improved drastically. I think you should. It will certainly help you.

Great! What about Facebook? But when I think about it, it's not all too significant for me to get Facebook notifications right when they arrive.

Facebook app is notoriously bad. Lots of complaints. I intentionally don't use the app.

Yeah this can certainly help. No need to keep apps that you don't need updating active in the background. Although it may take a little bit longer to open

I've heard that! I usually just try and ignore the drain. But I've thought about using a browser Facebook alternative app.
I personally shut my Facebook off from running in the background as I don't use Facebook much. Now I do Instagram. So I left it on to refresh.

That is a good idea! No need to let Facebook use up resources when you don't need it
Mine is slowly degrading after about a year of usage. I do use it a lot (podcasts, music, Bluetooth connection to a fitness bracelet) but it used to last me well over a day and now it's dead in the evening. It doesn't bother me too much though, the charging is super fast so I started to charge all the time I'm not using the phone.
My stand by battery life has gotten awesome now since I shut most everything off running in the background. It optimized the battery big time so I can go to bed with 90 percent and wake up the next morning with close to the same percentage. It's gotten ten times better than it was when I first got it. Of course all that is in vain if I end up getting the iPhone 8 that I've got the opportunity to get now. I hate to let my honor 8 go but I'm a true Apple guy by heart over android all though I still don't consider EMUI to be Android. They had to place it somewhere and because no way would Apple let them in their eco system in defaulted to having to be compatible with Android but if you dissect EMUI there is nothing about it that even resembles Android. It's very unique. That's why I've grown to like it so much so if I get the iPhone 8 it'll be hard to let the honor go for sure. I'll definitely miss this forum for sure. It's the most interactive forum I've been a part of. Bunch of great nice people on here!!

Battery life is still pretty good. Performance is still stellar and camera is great for the price.
